What are the desync causes in this script?

Hello Hive! I was wondering what are the desync causes when using this condition?
(Name as many as you can plz)
if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then

every further function you call will disconnect every player but the host unless the only effect of it is visual (note: things like "ShowUnit" are not only visual because they also influence pathing and special effects are not shown but created so they will cause disconnect as well)

if you want to show something to a single player only you will always have to create it for all players
example for special effects:

set string = ""
if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_YourPlayer then
set string = "somepath.mdl"
endif
create specialeffect using s

this way you create something for all players but it looks like "" (nothing) for everyone but the specified player

for multiboards:

create an array of 12 multiboards
hide the multiboards for all players
show multiboard x for player x

again you will have to create all multiboards for every player
the only thing you can modify is the visibility

unfortunately in special cases it is possible that a player will be disconnected for no obvious reason
it is said that it might be caused by handle leaks where blizzards wrapper functions did not null them properly and therefore cause a desync but other things might be the matter as well

another thing to be careful with:
if you localy set things they don't sync over time
e.g. if you change a units flying height for local players and then later do something like "if flying height of unit is equal to x do something" it won't work well
